Previously Publisher.objects.filter(book=val) would target
book.object_id if book is a GenericRelation. This is inconsistent to
filtering over reverse foreign key relations, where the target is the
related model's primary key.
GenericRelation now supports an optional related_query_name argument.
Setting related_query_name adds a relation from the related object back to
the content type for filtering, ordering and other query operations.
Thanks to Loic Bistuer for spotting a couple of important issues in
his review.
A test for annotations incorrectly assumed that the first instance
(in the test) of a model using AutoField for PK will always get pk=1.
The test was changed to compare against actual instance id instead.
The GenericRelation refactoring removed GenericRelations from
model._meta.many_to_many. This had the side effect of disallowing
editable GenericRelations in ModelForms. Editable GenericRelations
aren't officially supported, but if we don't fix this we don't offer any
upgrade path for those who used the ability to set editable=True
in GenericRelation subclass.
Thanks to Trac alias joshcartme for the report and stephencmd and Loic
for working on this issue.
The patch for #19385 caused a regression in certain generic relations
.exclude() filters if a subquery was needed. The fix contains a
refactoring to how Query.split_exclude() and Query.trim_start()
interact.
Thanks to Trac alias nferrari for the report.
When a GenericRelation was defined on abstract model, queries on childs
of the abstract model didn't work. The problem was in the way fields and
in particular field.rel was copied from models to their children.
The regression was likely caused by #19385. Thanks to Gavin Wahl for
spotting the regression.
